August 2025

 
I was in the middle of modifying a dress that I made for my niece, when I came across this meme on facebook.  It was so fitting for me.  Garment making is a rarity for me and I think this is why:  quilts always fit.  If I make a twin size quilt (according to the dimensions on the pattern), it will fit a twin size bed; but when I made a size 6 dress (according to the pattern) for my size 6 niece, it did not fit.  Thankfully, I was able to modify it and now she can wear it.  I may dabble in garment making a bit more, but I just think quilts are more my niche.  How about you?  Whichever it is, we thank you for keeping us open by shopping with us!
